Birds of a Feather Flock Together

Campaign for European Citizenship

Right now the total number of signatures is being divided between 3 ECIs and roughly 42 Parliament Petitions, so we need people to sign as many as possible in order to show a large cumulative total number of signatures.

With so many petitions that are out, it’s hard to know which ones to focus on. A couple petitions have managed to collect over 300,000 signatures. However, these were informal requests made through change.org and neither the Commission nor the European Parliament are required to act. In order to create new laws to protect EU citizenship and its rights, legislative proposals begin with the European Commission. These proposals are then reviewed and voted on by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union.

European Citizens’ Initiatives (ECIs) go through the European Commission while petitions go through the European Parliament. That is why it is imperative to sign both!

We need to show strength in numbers. The links below lead to the open ECIs and to Parliament petitions that seek to ensure that EU citizenship and its rights are protected.
